DENUNCIA: ENFERMEDAD Y ONDAS ELECTROMAGNÉTICAS


Por Eduardo Jiménez Marqués
http://aragon365.blogspot.com

Hola, Soy Èric. Esto no es una cadena de mensajes que me he llegado, sino que lo comenzamos nosotros.
A mediados de diciembre tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer a una persona muy especial, alguien que es hipersensible a los campos electromagnéticos. Una catalana que lleva 13 años viviendo en Estados Unidos, profesora universitaria.
Nos dio una charla informativa, cuyo objetivo principal era contarnos su experiencia con la contaminación electromagnética, pero sobre todo alertarnos encarecidamente de la que se nos está viniendo encima.
Sabréis que Endesa (e Iberdrola en otras zonas de España) están renovando los contadores de la luz analógicos de toda la vida (los de la ruedecita que hay que dar la lectura todos los meses) por unos más modernos digitales, concretamente electrónicos, que les permitirán controlar mediante telegestión la lectura y el consumo eléctrico reales, con el consiguiente ahorro salarial de trabajadores que hasta ahora iban casa por casa a tomar las lecturas y de los teleoperadores que nos atienden si la facilitamos por teléfono.
Para hacer la lectura a distancia (telegestión), dichos contadores recibirán y emitirán datos por ondas (Iberdrola) o por la red eléctrica (Endesa). En EEUU esos contadores hace dos años justos (enero de 2011) empezaron a funcionar, y todo ello desembocó en un desastre de salud pública, ya que allí donde emitían se registró un aumento alarmante de casos de cáncer, depresión, hiperactividad, brotes psicóticos... todo ello a causa de la elevada contaminación electromagnética de los nuevos contadores.
Se ha calculado que cada uno de esos contadores tiene una potencia equivalente a 40 routers Wi-Fi, y ya se sabe que el Wi-Fi acarrea problemas, así que imaginaos.
En su momento, la OMS ya clasificó las ondas del Wi-Fi y móviles como posible cancerígeno, en el mismo nivel de toxicidad del pesticida DDT, ya prohibido en casi todo el mundo.
Es lo que tienen los "avances" tecnológicos, que se generaliza su uso e implantación sin ni siquiera comprobar si son o no inocuos para la salud.
En España, como comentaba, ya se están instalando, aplicando así la directiva europea y la ley estatal que así lo ordenan. Y con ello, se multiplicarán las antenas receptoras que recogerán los datos de tu contador para mandarlos a la central de datos.
Ahora bien, su implantación puede detenerse en cada municipio mediante ordenanza municipal, pero para ello primero hay que conocer el problema, difundirlo y tomar medidas en cada casa, comunidad de vecinos, asociación y federación de asociaciones de vecinos hasta llegar a los ayuntamientos respectivos.
¿Qué puedes hacer si se presenta un técnico para instalarlo? Negarte en rotundo y pedirle que primero Endesa / Iberdrola te presenten los informes que demuestren que los nuevos contadores son inocuos para la salud; y si llegan a facilitártelos, les dices que quieres contrastarlo con otros o con otras fuentes.
Sin embargo, de poco servirá que no te lo instalen a ti si se lo instalan al resto de vecinos de la comunidad o al edificio de al lado o enfrente, la contaminación seguirá ahí.
De ahí que sea tan importante informar a tu vecindario a lo largo y ancho de tu calle. Ni que decir tiene que los más afectados serán los niños y adolescentes (por estar su organismo en desarrollo) y los ancianos (por estar su organismo en deterioro).
Para los que ya lo tengan instalado en sus casas, ya os daremos información de cómo protegerse mínimamente de la contaminación que producen. Podéis escribirnos.
Os adjunto en archivo documentación que respalda y amplía todas estas informaciones. En una de ellas veréis que también se aborda el asunto de la privacidad de datos y de la supuesta manipulación de la lectura de datos con la consiguiente estafa en la factura, todo ello con los nuevos contadores de la luz. Se ha demostrado que dicho contador va "más rápido", lo que encarecerá la factura mensual.
En breve, gente próxima a mí y sensibilizada con este asunto de los contadores y la contaminación electromagnética vamos a dar charlas informativas gratuitas por el Bages (Cataluña), y probablemente creemos una plataforma para defender y difundir mejor este mensaje (asociadas a otras ya existentes autonómicas y estatales), y solicitar si cabe los servicios de un abogado medioambientalista que pueda guiarnos mejor en este proceso. Posiblemente de ahora en adelante te llegue más información desde el usuario "Salut Activa"
(lluitapelsteusdrets2013@gmail), dirección que administramos nosotros.
Por otra parte, estamos traduciendo información que nos llega principalmente de EEUU y de Canadá que denuncia los efectos de dichos contadores.
Te animo a que leas detenidamente la documentación que te adjunto, a que sopeses la importancia que tiene y a que te animes activamente a ser un punto más de luz en este túnel. Te pido, por favor, que hagas difusión de este contenido (en copia oculta, como yo he hecho, para evitar el SPAM). Ignorarlo y silenciarlo es poner en peligro tu salud y la de la gente que te importa.
Si vives fuera de España, todo esto también es válido y aplicable, puesto que se están instalando por toda Europa, así que infórmate de la situación en tu país de residencia.
Muchas gracias por tu atención y tu tiempo.
Un abrazo,
Èric (Salut Activa)

PD Resolución 1815 del Consejo de Europa aprobada
La Asamblea Parlamentaria del Consejo de Europa (APCE) pide a los gobiernos en su Resolución nº 1815 de 27 de Mayo de 2011, 'Peligros Potenciales de los Campos Electromagnéticos y sus efectos en el Medioambiente', ha pedido a los gobiernos europeos que adopten "todas las medidas razonables" para reducir la exposición a los campos electromagnéticos, incluyendo las radiofrecuencias emitidas por los teléfonos móviles , “y, de forma especial, la exposición de los niños y jóvenes, para quienes el riesgo de tumores en la cabeza parece mayor.”
Resolution 1815 (2011)1
The potential dangers of electromagnetic fields and their effect on the environment
________________________________________
1. The Parliamentary Assembly has repeatedly stressed the importance of states’ commitment to preserving the environment and environmental health, as set out in many charters, conventions, declarations and protocols since the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment and the Stockholm Declaration (Stockholm, 1972). The Assembly refers to its past work in this field, namely Recommendation 1863 (2009) on environment and health: better prevention of environment-related health hazards, Recommendation 1947 (2010) on noise and light pollution, and more generally, Recommendation 1885 (2009) on drafting an additional protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights concerning the right to a healthy environment and Recommendation 1430 (1999) on access to information, public participation in environmental decision-making and access to justice – implementation of the Ǻrhus Convention.
2. The potential health effects of the very low frequency of electromagnetic fields surrounding power lines and electrical devices are the subject of ongoing research and a significant amount of public debate. According to the World Health Organization, electromagnetic fields of all frequencies represent one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences, about which anxiety and speculation are spreading. All populations are now exposed in varying degrees to electromagnetic fields, the levels of which will continue to increase as technology advances.
3. Mobile telephony has become commonplace around the world. This wireless technology relies upon an extensive network of fixed antennae, or base stations, relaying information with radio-frequency signals. Over 1.4 million base stations exist worldwide and the number is increasing significantly with the introduction of third generation technology. Other wireless networks that allow high-speed Internet access and services, such as wireless local area networks, are also increasingly common in homes, offices and many public areas (airports, schools, residential and urban areas). As the number of base stations and local wireless networks increases, so does the radio-frequency exposure of the population.
4. While electrical and electromagnetic fields in certain frequency bands have wholly beneficial effects which are applied in medicine, other non-ionising frequencies, whether from extremely low frequencies, power lines or certain high frequency waves used in the fields of radar, telecommunications and mobile telephony, appear to have more or less potentially harmful, non-thermal, biological effects on plants, insects and animals as well as the human body, even when exposed to levels that are below the official threshold values.
5. As regards standards or threshold values for emissions of electromagnetic fields of all types and frequencies, the Assembly strongly recommends that the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle is applied, covering both the so-called thermal effects and the athermic or biological effects of electromagnetic emissions or radiation. Moreover, the precautionary principle should be applied when scientific evaluation does not allow the risk to be determined with sufficient certainty. Given the context of growing exposure of the population, in particular that of vulnerable groups such as young people and children, there could be extremely high human and economic costs if early warnings are neglected.
6. The Assembly regrets that, despite calls for the respect of the precautionary principle and despite all the recommendations, declarations and a number of statutory and legislative advances, there is still a lack of reaction to known or emerging environmental and health risks and virtually systematic delays in adopting and implementing effective preventive measures. Waiting for high levels of scientific and clinical proof before taking action to prevent well-known risks can lead to very high health and economic costs, as was the case with asbestos, leaded petrol and tobacco.
7. Moreover, the Assembly notes that the problem of electromagnetic fields or waves and their potential consequences for the environment and health has clear parallels with other current issues, such as the licensing of medication, chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals or genetically modified organisms. It therefore highlights that the issue of independence and credibility of scientific expertise is crucial to accomplish a transparent and balanced assessment of potential negative impacts on the environment and human health.
8. In light of the above considerations, the Assembly recommends that the member states of the Council of Europe:
8.1. in general terms:
8.1.1. take all reasonable measures to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields, especially to radio frequencies from mobile phones, and particularly the exposure to children and young people who seem to be most at risk from head tumours;
8.1.2. reconsider the scientific basis for the present standards on exposure to electromagnetic fields set by the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection, which have serious limitations, and apply ALARA principles, covering both thermal effects and the athermic or biological effects of electromagnetic emissions or radiation;
8.1.3. put in place information and awareness-raising campaigns on the risks of potentially harmful long-term biological effects on the environment and on human health, especially targeting children, teenagers and young people of reproductive age;
8.1.4. pay particular attention to “electrosensitive” people who suffer from a syndrome of intolerance to electromagnetic fields and introduce special measures to protect them, including the creation of wave-free areas not covered by the wireless network;
8.1.5. in order to reduce costs, save energy, and protect the environment and human health, step up research on new types of antenna, mobile phone and DECT-type device, and encourage research to develop telecommunication based on other technologies which are just as efficient but whose effects are less negative on the environment and health;
8.2. concerning the private use of mobile phones, DECT wireless phones, WiFi, WLAN and WIMAX for computers and other wireless devices such as baby monitors:
8.2.1. set preventive thresholds for levels of long-term exposure to microwaves in all indoor areas, in accordance with the precautionary principle, not exceeding 0.6 volts per metre, and in the medium term to reduce it to 0.2 volts per metre;
8.2.2. undertake appropriate risk-assessment procedures for all new types of device prior to licensing;
8.2.3. introduce clear labelling indicating the presence of microwaves or electromagnetic fields, the transmitting power or the specific absorption rate (SAR) of the device and any health risks connected with its use;
8.2.4. raise awareness on potential health risks of DECT wireless telephones, baby monitors and other domestic appliances which emit continuous pulse waves, if all electrical equipment is left permanently on standby, and recommend the use of wired, fixed telephones at home or, failing that, models which do not permanently emit pulse waves;
8.3. concerning the protection of children:
8.3.1. develop within different ministries (education, environment and health) targeted information campaigns aimed at teachers, parents and children to alert them to the specific risks of early, ill-considered and prolonged use of mobiles and other devices emitting microwaves;
8.3.2. for children in general, and particularly in schools and classrooms, give preference to wired Internet connections, and strictly regulate the use of mobile phones by schoolchildren on school premises;
8.4. concerning the planning of electric power lines and relay antenna base stations:
8.4.1. introduce town planning measures to keep high-voltage power lines and other electric installations at a safe distance from dwellings;
8.4.2. apply strict safety standards for the health impact of electrical systems in new dwellings;
8.4.3. reduce threshold values for relay antennae in accordance with the ALARA principle and install systems for comprehensive and continuous monitoring of all antennae;
8.4.4. determine the sites of any new GSM, UMTS, WiFi or WIMAX antennae not solely according to the operators’ interests but in consultation with local and regional government authorities, local residents and associations of concerned citizens;
8.5. concerning risk assessment and precautions:
8.5.1. make risk assessment more prevention oriented;
8.5.2. improve risk-assessment standards and quality by creating a standard risk scale, making the indication of the risk level mandatory, commissioning several risk hypotheses to be studied and considering compatibility with real-life conditions;
8.5.3. pay heed to and protect “early warning” scientists;
8.5.4. formulate a human-rights-oriented definition of the precautionary and ALARA principles;
8.5.5. increase public funding of independent research, in particular through grants from industry and taxation of products that are the subject of public research studies to evaluate health risks;
8.5.6. create independent commissions for the allocation of public funds;
8.5.7. make the transparency of lobby groups mandatory;
8.5.8. promote pluralist and contradictory debates between all stakeholders, including civil society (Ǻrhus Convention).
